France would like to see Joel Embiid suit up for them when they host the 2024 Summer Olympics. But French basketball federation president Jean-Pierre Siutat said that they need an answer by October 10.
“It will happen very quickly in all cases. We hope so and I think he knows it. We may have an answer by October 10,” Siutat said. “We have set this deadline.”
Siutat added, “We never communicated anything official about Joel Embiid. There was buzz created from everywhere, and I repeat that I want him to come. However, we made no communication about the fact that he was with us. Today, he is still not with us. We are working on it, we have a firm desire to do it. He knows it. We had the opportunity to discuss it with him and we are awaiting a decision. The American team is very interested in the idea of “‹”‹having him. Cameroon is qualified for the pre-Olympics. It’s a delicate situation for him.”
